scottish food

[carmen_lj]

Today I ate something called a 'buttery' after being assured it was some manner of Scottish delicacy in the north-east. This was a lie: it's a very squashed, very salty croissant. Made by Aberdonians.

A handy travel tip: when it Scotland, do not eat the native food. We stuff all manner of things into sheeps' stomachs before boiling them and declaring it edible; our native Irn Bru, a charming radioactive orange fizz that dissolves teeth on contact, outsells all other soft drinks, and our idea of making even the humble bread roll better is to load it with saturated fat and then cake it with salt. So that they'll keep for longer, even if those who eat them don't.

I fear the square sausage but potato scones are nummah. Probably I'm only imagining all the tasty salt and fat in them and they are actually really healthy cause of all the nice potato, yes.

Sausages in general should be feared a little so in for a penny I guess...I believe your theory on potato scones to be accurate and good. (Especially if you grill them instead of frying)

Anything on a grill = healthy like apples. Yes.
